Wikipedia
Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) (magneto fluid dynamics or hydromagnetics) is the study of the magnetic properties of electrically conducting fluids. Examples of such magneto-fluids include plasmas, liquid metals, and salt water or electrolytes. The word magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is derived from magneto- meaning magnetic field, hydro- meaning water, and -dynamics meaning movement. The field of MHD was initiated by Hannes Alfvén, for which he received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1970.
The fundamental concept behind MHD is that magnetic fields can induce currents in a moving conductive fluid, which in turn polarizes the fluid and reciprocally changes the magnetic field itself. The set of equations that describe MHD are a combination of the Navier-Stokes equations of fluid dynamics and Maxwell's equations of electromagnetism. These differential equations must be solved simultaneously, either analytically or numerically.
Magnetohydrodynamics is a peer-reviewed physics journal published by the Institute of Physics of the University of Latvia, covering fundamental and applied problems of magnetohydrodynamics in incompressible media, including magnetic fluids. This involves both classical and emerging areas in the physics, thermodynamics, hydrodynamics, and electrodynamics of magnetic fluids. , the editor-in-chief is Andrejs Cēbers (Institute of Physics). Since 2001 the journal has been published solely in English.
The English and online edition were published by Kluwer Academic Publishers (now part of Springer-Verlag) through volume 36, number 4 (2001). Now the entire content is available by subscription directly from the journal’s website.
